Expectant Mother Found Injecting Herself With Heroin, Meth While In The Midst Of Delivering Her Baby

It’s not uncommon for expectant mothers to reach out for comfort while in the throes of childbirth. Ice chips! An epidural! Any-freaking-thing. But one New Hampshire-based woman will be most certainly serving time after injecting herself with heroin and amphetamines while giving birth to her son. Surprisingly, her friend was there and instead of stopping 29-year-old Felicia Faruggia from taking the drugs, Rhianna Frenette helped her to inject them into her bloodstream.

What sort of punishment do you think this mother deserves? What about the friend that helped her? Sound off in the comments section below.

Mother. Authorities have taken 29-year-old Felicia Faruggia into custody after she was found to be injecting herself with drugs while in labor. The New Hampshire based woman, according to The Daily Mail, “allegedly ordered her friend to inject her with heroin and methamphetamine just before she gave birth to her baby boy.”

Home. Faruggia is reported to have begun labor while at her house in Concord, New Hampshire. But when the contractions began, instead of having anyone call an ambulance or take her to the hospital, Faruggia had nothing but drugs on her mind. She even had her friend, Rhianna Frenette, help her to inject the drugs into her system. Frenette claims she was forced.

But… Despite being forced, Frenette did eventually help Faruggia to inject the drugs. The two used an unsanitary needle, according to The Daily Mail. Authorities eventually were called to the scene and took Faruggia to the hospital, but first had to carry her to the ambulance she was transported in. Not too long after, Faruggia gave birth to a baby boy, but while still in the ambulance, not at the hospital.
